September 11th 2001

Hate and Pain have collided
Collided together and crashed into the world
They are driving out love
The passion is no longer here

Enemies going against us
Friends rally round
Devastation has hit
Worlds are being torn apart

Families have been broken
Lives have been taken
Buildings damaged
But countries unite

Unite in the fight for survival
The right to live in peace and harmony
Without the fear of terror
Or the pain and hurt of death

Let love come upon us
And shine from the heavens
Let prayer do the wonders
And break the barriers of despair

Lord be with us in this time
Show everyone you care
Let tragedy combine with love
And let everyone shine

Shine with radiance of you
Let them be wrapped in you
Lord bring these people to you
Let them scream “Jesus I am yours”
